Think back to your or your surrounding embarrassing experience, in the humid summer, hot and crowded elevators, carriages, interviews, exams, there is a special odor you will not be unfamiliar with, that is, “armpit odor”, also known as fox odor, beard odor, body odor, which is mainly due to the armpit area of some people sweat glands (the scientific name of the “parietal gland”) overdeveloped to produce a large number of secretions and microbial chemical reaction to produce offensive odor, because of its special odor, so it is easy to distinguish from ordinary sweat odor. It is mainly due to some people’s armpit area sweat glands (scientific name of “parietal plasma gland”) overdeveloped, produce a large number of secretions and microbial chemical reaction to produce a disgusting odor, because of its special odor, so it is easy to distinguish from the ordinary sweat odor. Armpit odor is more obvious when it is hot and sweaty, leaving yellowish traces on light-colored clothes. So does this annoying odor need to be treated? From a medical point of view, you can choose not to treat it, but because this odor affects interpersonal communication and even produces psychological disorders, many patients choose to apply perfume or antiperspirant lotion to cover up the odor. However, the long-term use of such chemicals can cause skin pigmentation and poor elasticity, resulting in irreversible damage and even causing skin lesions. At this point, surgery is then chosen, often requiring a longer recovery time. Through exchanges, it was found that these patients were not unwilling to be treated, but just lacked understanding, or were influenced by previous treatments, and often did not dare to be optimistic about the efficacy of the treatment. Therefore, if there is a relatively small trauma, fast recovery, good appearance of the treatment method, “armpit odor need treatment” will become a false proposition. Traditional flap excision and the old Chinese medicine “a needle spirit” was the mainstream treatment, but the flap excision of large trauma, scars and bumps, affecting the activities of the upper limbs; “a needle spirit” is injected through the anhydrous alcohol to destroy the glands to get rid of odor, but the “blind eye”. The “blind eye” operation will often have residual, high recurrence rate after surgery. About the armpit odor treatment is reported to have hundreds of ways, but the people lack of understanding, the medical market in the name of a wide range of therapeutic effect of varying levels of treatment results often for the follow-up treatment has brought great difficulties. The principle of armpit odor treatment is to completely remove the sweat glands in the armpits, and the fewer sweat glands that remain, the less likelihood that odor will exist after surgery. Therefore, surgical removal of sweat glands is still recognized as the most thorough treatment today, and with the development of the times, the traditional huge invasive surgery of flap removal of the entire sweat gland area has been discarded. What patients need is a smaller incision with guaranteed results. Therefore, the question of how to remove all the sweat glands with a small incision is a problem for the surgeon. The modified small incision axillary sweat gland excision under direct visualization, which we carry out through a modified surgical method, can hide the incision in the axillary fold, the length of the incision is controlled at 2-3cm, with little trauma, you can leave the hospital on the same day after the operation, and the stitches are not removed after the operation, and you can usually return to your daily work in 4-5 days after the operation. After the operation, the scars are hidden, which does not affect young women wearing camisoles, tank tops and other sleeveless tops, and more importantly, it frees them from the reliance on medication from now on. This procedure has benefited a large number of patients over the years, as it allows for optimal results while maintaining the aesthetics of the wound. The majority of armpit odor patients are young people who are afraid of surgery and are often afraid of talking about “surgery”. However, in this era of “minimally invasive”, surgical treatment is not as embarrassing and painful as people think. As a participant, I am glad to see those patients who have achieved satisfactory results become more confident. In the face of armpit odor, only with a positive attitude to understand, face and treat, can we say goodbye to it as soon as possible. Surgery can make you wave your sleeves and stop smelling bad.
